[parodeity]

I'll still be here.

[ ...well. there's that. ]

By the end of the month. By the start of the next one. I will be.

[constellates]

Anya too.

[well she doesn't have quite the same ability to say it with certainty, but her confidence is the same. she pulls away from the hug but still holds onto dave's hand and gives it a brief squeeze]

Oсталось... we will still be here, and it will be okay. Even if it a little harder.

[parodeity]

Hey, Anya.

[ he's curious, for once, enough to ask: ]

...What kinds of things have you been remembering?

[constellates]

[ . . . . oh. There's a pause at that and she reaches up with her free hand to play with her hair a little self-consciously at that.]

Songs... Dances...

[but she's normally pretty excited about those so. she's more nervous about something else - ]

I... think my friend got sick? Hедавний... That is the one I last remember.

[parodeity]

Like a cold sick or...worse than that sick?

[ THAT'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE WORRYING... ]

[constellates]

Cold sick...?

[Though she doesn't sound sure.]

She had... лихорадка? They said that she worked too hard. So I hope it is not very bad sick.

[parodeity]

Exhaustion? Hopefully it wasn't anything serious, then...still, that sucks. You're worried, right?

[constellates]

[There's a nod - she didn't remember anything after that.]

Mm... She was upset. She kept saying sorry to me...

[And that worried her more.]

Партнер... She is my partner. We work together and we go on stage together... I think she was sad she could not do that.

[parodeity]

So...the kind of person who doesn't want to cause trouble for others, even when they should rest up and worry about themselves.

[ HAHA...what makes u beautiful laughtrack ]

[constellates]

[There is a little nod there and Anya hums, gently amused.]

I think so.... She is the one who I stood on stage with, at our first concert. She was nervous so I held her hand. Mилая... A very sweet person.

I do not know if she is here yet, but I hope she is. I do not know a lot about her... but I think she is important to me.

[parodeity]

Sounds like a best friend?

[ or like a HUGE CRUSH but it's hard to tell the difference with anya ]

Maybe someday she will be. It seems kinda...you know, people just. Show up.

[constellates]

[is there really a difference with anya]

I think she will be. Maybe it is more like hope but... Pадость? Mm... I do not know the right words for it but I think that we have a lot to say to each other now.

[Or at least Anya does.]

Is that how Davechka felt about John?

[parodeity]

[ UH ]

Like...how I felt about him?? [ yes dave that is the question she just asked ]

[constellates]

[ . . . . ]

Yes?

[is that a weird question to ask.... she watches him closely..... why the hesitation, davenka]

[parodeity]

[ HESITATION, WHAT HESITATION (there was hesitation) ]

I mean. He was - is - my best friend. I loved him. Love him. Trust him with my life, the whole shebang.

[constellates]

[ . . . .

You'll have to excuse her because she's going to look away and giggle for a second, even as she gives his hand one more squeeze.]

Ah.

I am happy you found each other.

[parodeity]

[ oh my god. ]

Not like that.

[ maybe on dave's part but John Is Straight, He's Pretty Sure. ]

[constellates]

[innocently:]

Like what?

[WHO SAYS SHE'S MAKING ASSUMPTIONS

(she's talked to them both. she might be making assumptions.)]

[parodeity]

The way in which you kinda implied it was like??

[constellates]

I can be happy for you to find your best friend again, Davechka.

[silly.]

Счастье. I only want what brings you happiness.

[parodeity]

You can, but I feel like that wasn't all you were gettin' at. [ but he can't press the topic...laughs... ] It's...nice having him around again, anyway.

[constellates]

[their forever standstill....

but well. Anya hums softly and... well....]

... I believe you.

If I was "gettin' at" more, would you be mad?

[look she can take a tiny risk]

[parodeity]

I wouldn't be mad at you, it'd just be...

[ gestures with his free hand. ]

He's straight, ergo there is no more to be gotten.

[constellates]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . ]

You asked?

[because she and john facetimed and his face did the fond thing???]

[parodeity]

[ a shrug. ]

I've said it multiple times around him. [ and anyway: ] And also I am not actually his type, historically speakin'. We are best friends, but it's never been anything but that.
